Lotte shares up as power struggle looms

Shares in Lotte group companies jumped up on Wednesday as investors expect founding family members to try to increase their holdings. On Tuesday the board of Lotte Holdings had sacked 92-year-old founder Shin Kyuk-ho from his position as co-CEO. This led to speculation that other family members would try to compete for control of the Korean conglomerate. (Photo by Rodrigo Reyes Marin/AFLO)
